    showering: before or after work

    Spidey's mom replied to peachypurple's topic in General Nursing

    I've always worked in a nursing job where I would simply have to shower after work. ER, L&D, and now hospice and wound care. Lottsa buggy things get on me. And I simply have to shower to wake...

    What's Rude?

    Spidey's mom replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Oh yeah, I work in hospice. You all know "morphine kills". Hospice patients, unless they are narc naive, are used to pain meds and it won't kill them to get higher doses of medication. It will...

    showering: before or after work

    Spidey's mom replied to peachypurple's topic in General Nursing

    I have to shower to wake up in the morning before work. That and 2 cups of coffee. I also shower when I get home. My skin isn't prone to being dry but I always put on lotion after each

    What's Rude?

    Spidey's mom replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I laughed a bit at this . . . I hate my photo on my badge so I purposely turn it upside down. This is my biggest issue lately. I walk by the nurses' station and nurses and CNA's are on their...

    You are right! I was wrong! Blaming it on my headache and fatigue. Sorry! But thanks for pointing it

    Spidey's mom replied to nurse0614's topic in General Nursing

    I'm hoping that last sentence was satirical. Because you cannot get the flu from the flu shot. (As pointed out by Chare- I misread your sentence. I'm sorry about that). Just

    Just came across this article a few minutes ago. Get a flu shot folks. It is worth

    After mastectomy now what?

    Spidey's mom replied to Lessstress2's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    This is true. In my experience, women having mastectomies will get physical therapy for awhile afterwards to get them back on track. Talk to your surgeon about this. I wish you the

    9-11 - Where were You? What were You Doing?

    Spidey's mom replied to traumaRUs's topic in Nursing News

    I was home with a newborn and getting my 3 older kids ready for school when the two oldest asked me to turn on the tv so they could check the scores of the local high school football teams and when I...

    Professional (Dis) Courtesy

    Spidey's mom replied to compassionresearcher's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you. When I had an emergency cesarean with my last child (first 3 normal vag deliveries) I knew the nurse taking care of me and she did not do a good job of talking to me about what to...

    Forced to get flu shot or wear a mask

    Spidey's mom replied to nurse0614's topic in General Nursing

    Nope - you got it right! All that was covered in the video - the parents read some of the comments directed at the mother on social media. And they showed the new baby with her older sister. It...

    Forced to get flu shot or wear a mask

    Spidey's mom replied to nurse0614's topic in General Nursing

    This is the specific story I've been following since last year and have also been following this family on their FB page "Light for Riley". It is a heartbreaking story but also a heartwarming one...

    What's Your Sign Baby?

    Spidey's mom replied to AutumnApple's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I still have a 15 year old at home and I'm 59 . . . I think I'm middle-aged but I'm probably older than that. Not elderly . .

    Forced to get flu shot or wear a mask

    Spidey's mom replied to nurse0614's topic in General Nursing

    Funny - had a discussion with daughter-in-law who only put ketchup on her corn dog and who couldn't understand how important MUSTARD is for hot dogs/corn dogs. He's anti-vaxx/anti-science because...

    Forced to get flu shot or wear a mask

    Spidey's mom replied to nurse0614's topic in General Nursing

    It really bothers me as well as a former ER nurse. I've been following the story of Riley, a young baby who died of whooping couch in Australia. His parents have mounted a campaign to educate about...

    10% isn't much of a discount. But if the foods are GMO, count me in! It is interesting that every year we have the same old, same old arguments against vaccines. I was hopeful that with more...

    Spidey's mom replied to nurse0614's topic in General Nursing

    No, no . . . First! And awesome. It seems awfully early for the annual flu shot thread however it still seems like summer to me and October is a month away so yeah, it is time for the flu shot....

    Yep. Nurses do "eat their young"

    Spidey's mom replied to Dianna11's topic in General Nursing

    (My bold) . . . this is so true. Nursing school is focused mainly on getting us to pass NCLEX. We might be lucky in clinical to get some great experience but it can be hit and miss. Good point...

    Nursing or Speech Pathology

    Spidey's mom replied to Maxima's topic in General Nursing

    We can't tell you what to choose. I'd suggest shadowing a speech therapist around. I worked with one when I was a school nurse and she was great. It is very busy though and you work with kids from...

    Yep. Nurses do "eat their young"

    Spidey's mom replied to Dianna11's topic in General Nursing

    Excellent point! That's not bullying. That doesn't mean all experienced nurses eat all new nurses. Who scolded you? The manager? Or just the preceptor? Or both? Regardless, that was truly a...

    Yep. Nurses do "eat their young"

    Spidey's mom replied to Dianna11's topic in General Nursing

    This is true. We aren't supposed to take abuse, verbal or otherwise, from patients or their families. We are in the midst of an issue where I work right now with a patient who is verbally...

    Yep. Nurses do "eat their young"

    Spidey's mom replied to Dianna11's topic in General Nursing

    I've been here a long time and yes, these NETY threads do get to me because when people say "Nurses eat their young" they are making a broad generalization basically saying all experienced nurses are...
